Three female undercover agents fight evil and look good doing it in this made-for-TV action-adventure drama. While Puerto Rico may be a playground for the rich and famous in the eyes of the world, United Nations intelligence agent J.W. Garrison (Martin Sheen) and his CIA colleague Zack Hamilton (Jeff Kaake) discover that all is not well on the island -- a team of terrorists have set up shop in Puerto Rico, and are working on an anthrax bomb which could cause millions of deaths in the United States. Needing to infiltrate the terrorists before it's too late, Garrison and Hamilton call in the Dangerous Reconnaissance Emergency Action Mission Team -- the D.R.E.A.M. Team for short -- which consists of Kim Taylor (Angie Everhart), Eva Kirov (Eva Halina), and Victoria Carrera (Traci Bingham), three highly skilled secret agents posing as international supermodels. While mingling with the upper crust between photo shoots, the D.R.E.A.M. Team meet a business mogul whose plans for his U.S. operations may be less than benign. D.R.E.A.M. Team was the pilot film for a short-lived television show; Martin Sheen did not appear in the series, but Roger Moore stepped in to play a similar role. James Remar and Traci Lords also appeared in the pilot. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

While attending a convention in Las Vegas, Jessica (Angela Lansbury) links up with Susan Hartley (Amy O'Neill), the daughter of her editor Ted Hartley (Bruce Gray). When Susan's boyfriend is accused of murdering a nasty casino manager, Jessica steps in to prove the poor fellow's innocence. In so doing, our heroine places her own life in dire jeopardy. Andrew Brye makes his second appearance in the semi-regular role of Ahmed Shanker. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Successful LA marketing analyst Michael Boll (James Spader) seemingly has it all-except a sense of self-confidence. Enigmatic drifter Alex (Rob Lowe) enters Michael's life and immediately begins to exert a negative influence. As Michael's self-esteem zooms (aided by generous dollops of sex and drugs) he allows himself to be dragooned into a life of crime by the demonic Alex. The "doppelganger" aspects of Bad Influence, and the film's many unexpected twists and turns, echo films of Alfred Hitchcock, especially Strangers on a Train. The film's boldest stroke is to cast the likeable Lowe as the bad guy (albeit a charming one) and the often villainous Spader as the malleable milquetoast. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Nasty Boys refers not to a rock group but an elite corps of law enforcement officers. This fact-based TV movie is set in August, 1986. The place is drug-ridden North Las Vegas, Nevada. Unable to stem the drug trade by orthodox means, the police department organizes a group of "commando cops", who swoop down on the narcotics kingpins while garbed in identification-obscuring ski masks. These guerilla tactics worked beautifully in 1986, though the hooded vigilantism inherent in so extreme a police procedure has subsequently triggered racial tensions in some large cities. In 1989, however, The Nasty Boys was regarded as a merely a slam-bang piece of entertainment. It was designed as the pilot for a potential TV series, and was given a "sure-fire" network lead-in with the premiere episode of Baywatch (Baywatch clicked; The Nasty Boys clunked). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This romantic made-for-TV movie chronicles episodes from the varied lives of visitors to the popular Mexican seaside resort. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
